Got Mac Skype? Get Call Recorder To Record Calls.

Friday, April 25, 2008 | Mac Reviews | Read or Post a Comment

CallRecorder I like Skype. It’s sort of the iChat for the rest of the VoIP world. Skype audio and video work great on today’s Intel Macs.

Use Call Recorder to record your VoIP calls while using Skype. It’s easy. Click to record, click to stop.

What’s not to like about Apple’s iChat? Alright, it’s the cat’s meow when used between two Mac users, right? Unfortunately, too much of the rest of the world hasn’t figured out how to handle audio and video on their computer.

Enter Skype.... (excerpted).

I love skype and this is a really good tip. A free answering machine! I use Interoute for my business Voip and skype for personal use.

I personally have been using an IPEVO TR-10 Speakerphone, and it does a great job of recording my conversations in Skype. I also us the handset (you can switch to headset with a button on the side) when I’m talking in a cafe. Love it!

I have an eMac, using the last version of Tiger and have been using always the latest versions of Skype. I once tried an early version of Call Recorder but it caused serious sound distortions, so I deleted it.
I had hoped that this newer version of Call Recorder had solved the problems of sound distortions, but instead it stopped me from hearing or being heard completely!

After a complete deletion of all parts of Skype and a download and install of another copy, all’s well again with Skype. For me Call Recorder is now just another landmine on the Mac landscape to avoid!

Other folks, other strokes - It may work for you, but not for me…

Strange. How about a little more detail. What kind of Mac? Which OS version? Which version of Skype? How did you uninstall it? Does sound work in other applications? Did you re-install Skype? Does iChat work (same technology)? So many questions, so few answers.

I say that because I’ve used Call Recorder for about a year and it’s been flawless on my install of Skype.

I would be extremely careful with this: I installed it to try it out and immediately lost all possibility of talk via Skype!

I hurried to uninstall it, but so far (after checking all audio inputs and outputs, a complete uninstall, repair with DiskWarrior, Disk Utility etc, etc) I still cannot carry on a voice conversation with my contacts!

For me this utility addition is a disaster!
